Corvo Attano is the protagonist of Dishonored, originating from Serkonos. Previously an agent and bodyguard to Empress Jessamine Kaldwin, Corvo is stripped of his title of Lord Protector and imprisoned by the usurper, then-Royal Spymaster Hiram Burrows, on the pretense of having murdered his charge and abducted her daughter, Emily Kaldwin.
Equipment and skills
Corvo is legendary for his efficient combat skills and stealth capabilities, along with his supernatural abilities; which were bestowed upon him by The Outsider.
He is capable of using unusual gadgetry, which aids him in situations which require stealth, and also in head-on encounters. Accompanying this, Corvo is highly proficient with both ranged and melee weapons, such as the sword and the crossbow.
Items unique to Corvo are a supernatural item known as the Heart, crafted by the Outsider, and his Sword, crossbow, and mask, which were created by the inventor, Piero Joplin.
Trivia
- Corvo means "crow" or "raven" in both Italian and Portuguese.
- Corvo had a strong bond with the Empress's daughter, Emily Kaldwin, so much so that she asks him to play hide-and-seek on his return to Dunwall.
- Accompanying this, it is speculated in Farley Havelock's journal that Emily Kaldwin may be Corvo's daughter. Similarly, Treavor Pendleton states that "everyone knows [he was] screwing the Empress."
- Corvo's identity throughout the game is unknown by everyone except those involved in the Loyalist Conspiracy. The authorities, even up to Hiram Burrows himself, do not realize that Corvo and the Masked Felon are the same man.
- If Corvo follows a low-chaos path, Emily will draw a picture of him without his mask, with the word "Daddy" in large letters, literally illustrating that she sees Corvo as a father figure.
- It is noted in the Dishonored game manual that Corvo was "assigned to serve the Empress as a diplomatic gesture." The specifics of this assignment (for example, whether it occurred prior or subsequent to his being named Lord Protector) are unknown.
